Providers are reminded that there are just over two weeks left to submit reports for Provider Relief Fund (PRF) Reporting Period 5. Reports must be submitted by 10:59 PM CT on September 30th. This impacts those providers who received PRF and ARP Rural Payments between January 1st and June 30th of 2022. 

Now that some providers have had their prior reports audited and are being instructed to return funds for disallowed expenses, LeadingAge is encouraging members to make sure they understand which expenses are allowable uses for PRF and ARP Rural dollars. This article provides additional details on considerations related to allowable expenses.
